I have lived in Moore since 2006. The May 20, 2013 tornado just missed my house. While we were fortunate, many of our friends suffered greatly in the aftermath. It was inspiring to see the community, state, and nation rally around the rebuilding efforts. Despite the awful toll that the tornado took on our town,  Moore has come back stronger than ever!

I have been involved in sports all my life, it seems! Currently, I referee the sports of football, baseball, and basketball, from the high school varsity level down to junior high sports. I have also umpired softball games, as well as officiated volleyball games. I have had the great fortune of officiating state playoff games in football and baseball. Athletes in those sports know the role math plays in their individual sports. In fact, math plays a factor in every part of life. That's why I take great joy in teaching math--you never know the many ways it can enhance your life!
